Rewind on RTRFM – 24 September 2021
This week’s Rewind takes us back to the salacious heyday of Rue-de-Roe, Perth’s de facto red light district for almost fifty years. Danae Gibson chats to author and historian Leigh Straw about her research into Roe St’s secret history of sex work, notorious until its whitewashing in the 1950s.
Next, Kailyn Crabbe speaks to boundary-pushing vocalist Tirzah about lockdown, motherly love, and London, hot on the heels of her sophomore album, Colourgrade.
Finally, Jeff Bullen gets a breakdown of AUKUS, the nuclear sub deal that caught the world off-guard last week. There’s no one more qualified to explain the new pact than his guest, naval affairs and maritime strategy expert Alexey Muraviev.
Rewind is RTRFM’s talks digest, a round-up of the station’s most notable stories.
